Trekking Through Time: Supe Nal to Gopya Ghat – A Hidden Sahyadri Gem

Deep in the folds of the Sahyadri hills lies a forgotten forest trail — the Supe Nal to Gopya Ghat trek. This lesser-known route in the Rajgad region is a walk through both breathtaking natural landscapes and layers of untold history. Lush monsoon forests, narrow gorges, ancient rock formations, and the lingering silence of once-important trade paths make this trail a true hidden gem for trekkers seeking something off the beaten path.

The trek begins from the rustic village of Sangavi, surrounded by green paddy fields and Sahyadri ridges. The trail first leads into the Supe Nal — a dramatic, gorge-like mountain pass formed by nature over centuries. The descent through this narrow corridor is both thrilling and beautiful, as the dense forest closes in and the soundscape shifts to birds, rustling leaves, and flowing water. During the monsoon, the terrain is alive with small streams and waterfalls, turning the route into a misty green tunnel of wilderness.

Even today, local villagers maintain sections of this ancient trail — especially the steeper parts — a testament to their relationship with the land and its legacy. The feeling of walking on a route that once connected the coastal town of Shivthar with interior Deccan villages gives the trek an added historical depth.

The trail passes through a scenic forest plateau known as Sahyadrichi Vadi, where the air feels untouched and the flora grows wild. Seasonal fruits like karvanda, jambhul, and bor are found along the way, offering a true forest-foraged experience.

As the trail ascends toward Gopya Ghat, trekkers encounter the remains of the region’s historic significance — a massive rock-cut cave, two ancient water tanks, and a weathered gadyagal (a stone surveillance point or rest stop carved into rock). These relics stand as reminders of the days when this route was one of the main connectors between regions. Though time has worn them down, their presence still inspires awe.

Once atop Gopya Ghat, the view opens into a wide, cloud-draped panorama of the surrounding Sahyadris. On clear days, the mighty forts of Rajgad and Torna can be seen standing proudly against the horizon, keeping silent watch over the hills and valleys below.

The descent on the other side of the ridge leads toward the scenic Bhatghar backwaters, with serene lake views and breezy grasslands offering a fitting, peaceful end to the trek.

What makes the Supe Nal to Gopya Ghat trek special is not just the physical trail — it's the atmosphere, the forgotten echoes of trade and travel, and the chance to walk paths once carved for survival and connection. It’s a perfect trail for monsoon lovers, history enthusiasts, or anyone seeking solitude in the Sahyadris.

No crowded peaks, no commercialization — just raw nature, rich history, and the joy of discovering something truly untouched.

• Join this expedition led by a knowledgeable and amicable guide, ensuring a smooth and enriching journey.
• Delight in the awe-inspiring vistas stretching across the landscape from the summit of Vasota fort.
• Opt for hassle-free transfers and be picked up from designated points in Pune the night before the trek commences.
• Embark on your journey, traversing off-the-beaten-path trails while encountering breathtaking natural panoramas.
• Arrive at the summit, revel in the picturesque vistas, and venture into the surrounding areas for exploration.
• Upon descending to the village base, indulge in a delectable thali lunch to replenish your energy.​
